Bountiful

It is true, I have become quite comfortable with one layer cards. When I saw this challenge, I decided to stamp a variety of leaf images in a variety of fall colors around a leaf die cut which would be used as a mask. The leaf image would be revealed when the die cut was removed. Well, that really bombed. It looked awful. I wasn't ready to give up though, so I did it in reverse and stamped inside the cutout. That worked really well.

I stamped an image of small leaves and acorns from PTI's Autumn Abundance in fall colors inside the cutout, then sponged lightly with green to pop it. When I removed the cutout, this lovely leaf revealed itself. I added some score lines on top, rounded the corners, stamped my sentiment, and my creation was complete.

I am going to head over to the LIM blog to see the fabulous creations that the Limettes have made. Thanks for stopping in today. Thanks for dropping by!

LOVE this, this is a great card. I was thinking about something like this with the star challenge, but went with something else. Very great to see this worked out.Love the colours you used. This is a perfect card.

I am sitting here laughing at your bomb. I bet I have a box full. LOLOLOL How elegant and that's one layer? I don't think I could do that. TFS for the instructions. I am going to try that with something, just not sure what!!
